Instances

Instances in the world of Arcadia are split into two groups, Open (Persistent) and Closed.

Open instances allow for all players of all levels to join in the same instance. Monsters and other resources are open to all to kill or harvest. Most monsters re-spawn after about 2 minutes, while hives, mining blocks and flowers re-spawn after 5 minutes in Open Instances.

Closed instances can only be joined by a single player or players in a group. Players in an instance can not join a group until they leave the instance. The monsters and resources in these instances do not re-spawn. Closed Instance can be leveled up by activating all the Checkpoints and then going through the Portal. There are 4 levels to each Instance and each new level is activated after the instance has been completed by going through the Portal 3 times. Each level increases the Monster levels and gives a bonus to the XP rewarded by Monsters.

Example: In the Twilight Cave a monster that was normally level 15 on Normal mode, would be level 18 (+3 Lvl) on Hard and instead of only giving 90XP (5*18) would give 180XP (2X XP)
